Cold Brewed Coffee

Cold Brewed Coffee is the solution to so many problems. I mean, you can make iced coffee at the drop of the hat, and have your hot morning coffee without ever turning on a coffee maker. Need I say more?

Add the coffee grounds to a large pitcher (2 - 3 quarts) along with the cardamom pods (if you're using them). Slowly pour the water onto the grounds. Cover the pitcher and let it stand on the counter at room temp for 12 hours.

After the 12 hours is up line a fine-mesh sieve with cheesecloth and set it over another large pitcher. Pour the coffee through the sieve and discard the grounds. Set the sieve over the first pitcher, line it with a two layers of damp paper towel, and pour the coffee through that (this way all the little molecular-sized flecks get caught).

Cover or transfer to a conainer that has a lid and store in the fridge for up to 1 week.
